Looking Backward: Depopulating Pershing Square, 2012-1954

Newly unearthed from the George Mann Archive are four 3-D Technicolor slides of the social scene in Pershing Square, circa 1954.



Over on the On Bunker Hill blog, they have been used to illustrate a six-decade history of intentional depopulation by civic and business leaders, which has again flared into a firestorm this week with City Council's creation of a Pershing Square Park Task Force. See them all, and more of George Mann's stunning color scenes of mid-century Los Angeles, On Bunker Hill.
